Board Game Arena

Board Game Arena (BGA) is an online platform where you can play many popular tabletop games, for free, right in your browser!

To play the games, please join the Vancouver Boardgamers Discord server at the link in the event description. That will allow us to chat via audio in real time.

For each event we'll start in the "Welcome/LFG (looking for game)" audio channel. Depending on the number of players and what kind of game they want to play, we may split up into different channels.

You will need to register on BGA (boardgamearena.com), which only takes a minute or so. It's free to sign up for a basic account. Then please put your BGA username in the "Board Game Arena (BGA) usernames" text channel so the host can easily invite you to the games.

Many of the games on BGA are free for anyone to play. Some games require a premium (paid) account; a few of our regular attendees have premium accounts. (It's quite affordable, at about $4 per month, or $48 for a full year.) If you're brand new to BGA and need any guidance on creating an account, please join the Discord server at the beginning of a game night and ask if one of the other attendees can help you to get set up before the games begin.

Happy Gaming, everyone!
